Just so you know, Lemmy has an option in every person's account to hide posts and comments from bot accounts ("bot" in this context meaning accounts that have voluntarily tagged themselves as bots, which is the case for the one you replied to.)
Data centers don't have "water cooling loops" that are anything like the ones in consumer PCs. To maximize cooling capacity, a lot of the systems use some sort of evaporative cooling that results in some of the water just floating away into the atmosphere (after which point it would need to be purified again before it could be used for human consumption)
It also seems from what I can find like some data centers just pipe in clean ambient-temperature water, use it to cool the servers, and then pipe it right back out into the municipal sewer system. Which is even more stupid, because you're taking potable water, sending it through systems that should be pretty clean, and then mixing it with waste water. If anything, that should be considered "gray water", which is still fine to use for things like flushing toilets.
It sounds kinda like the "trick" on the internet for fitting more notes onto a note-sheet for an exam. You're still using the same physical space to store information, but you're introducing a new degree of freedom that allows you to increase storage density.
I mean, even if they did, this isn't an emergency since they're not in any danger. The station is still working fine, they have plenty of supplies, etc.
Aw shit, it says this is supposed to detect when an app's binary has been tampered with... That means it's probably gonna be used to block stuff like ReVanced. I hope they can find a way around this that doesn't require root.
I've been running PiHole for awhile, in short it's your own DNS server that's configured to block DNS requests to known advertising domains. So when you load a website and it sends a DNS request to PopularAdvertisingCompany.com to load an ad, PiHole blocks the request so the ad can't be loaded. It's useful for devices that you can't put an ad blocker on, like iPhones and smart TVs and such, but can't block stuff like YouTube ads cause they come from the same domain as the videos themselves.
It also has bonus features like DNS caching which can speed up web browsing.
Any router from a mainstream brand is likely fine, just don't enable any of their "cloud" BS and don't use their smartphone app. I've had good luck with Asus, they have an app but you don't have to use it at all.
For security, try to enable WPA3 on your Wi-Fi networks, otherwise WPA2 is probably fine unless you're being targeted by a government-sponsored hacking operation. Choose a long password for your network.
Once you get it up and running, then worry about DNS and PiHole and VPNs and all that. Don't get in over your head.
Ha, I just came here to post this! It's seriously cool, and the Navajo's history in the semiconductor industry is something I never knew about.
I would love a rug like that.
Exactly. Or, you could just buy into "many worlds" and the idea that your brain and all the quantum particles that comprise it just join in on the laser beam's wave function. (That's an oversimplification but close enough)
Just like there's no reason to believe the earth is at the center of the solar system, there's no reason to believe that human consciousness is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics.
